Bone golem

Here is a converted model for my undead warband from the mage knight range. Alternatively an Iron golem or an undead minotaur. I sculpted nothing on this one though there are a number of citadel bitz which the knowledgeable eye can no doubt spot.

Functionally the bone golem rises from an interesting tactical dichotomy. Skeletons and zombies are numerous,.. but relatively easy for an adventurer worth half a guff to smack them around. While there are a great variety of undead monsters to choose from, they tend to have limitations or special weaknesses on their own. The bone golem is a manner of harnessing necromantic energy for the expressed purpose of beating ass toe-to-toe with the burliest mountain savage or the most nickle plated Arthurian guy on a horse with a pointy thing. as there is not enough of the nether world dream existance needed to maintain it,.. it acts more like a battering ram made of bone, Armour plate, and the persistent terror of slaughtered animals hanging in the air along side grave dirt and rust. Saving throw /THAT/!

Aesthetically this model came about from watching the movie time bandits as a kid. the imagery of the dead minotaur,.. thing/guy and then later the shadows with hooks and cow skulls -touched- me. And now if I were the evil guy in the structurally questionable looking tower /this/ is what I would leave laying around like a pair of brass knuckles to slip on when uninvited guests show up. This project was so fun I actually converted a second bone golem to go with it. I might get around to painting it someday so I can make them talk like mexican wrestlers as they look for priests to beat candy out of on the table top!
